Impressions: Coupe to Convertible

[Wriggly]

New wheels and tires from another car on lot. Road forced them and vibration seems better. Vibration range is smaller and less intense. They did figure out how to balance without scratching the new ones.

I've owned an 04 GT vert, a 13 and finally a 15. Of the three the S550 was obviously the most beautiful. Unfortunately the 15 had bad vibration and I wasn't getting anywhere with Ford or the local dealers over the issue. Plus the new platform has worse wind protection and more turbulence than the earlier iterations. The 04 was the best in my opinion. Great wind protection with the top down, best sounding exhaust (loved that two valve sound) and no problems other than squeaky steering rack bushings that was easily solved.

I kicked the 15 to the curb last year and have no regrets.
